2 Part Technique - Marcelo improvised this passing technique on his way to winning the 2011 World Chamionships. Noticing that his opponent was recovering his guard immediately after Marcelo broke it from standing, he realized that he could no longer try to pass his guard in one move, namely the Knee Slide. Instead, the solution was to pass his guard incrementally, passing directly into Half Guard first, and then utilizing his tried and true Over Under Pass. His opponent was no longer able to recover his Open Guard in time to stop Marcelo from forcing the Half, with an underhook already established for the Over Under Pass vs Half Guard.
